Copper-decorated carbon nanotubes-based composite electrodes for nonenzymatic detection of glucose

Nanoscale Res Lett. 2012 May 22;7(1):266. doi: 10.1186/1556-276X-7-266.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to prepare three types of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNT)-based composite electrodes and to modify their surface by copper electrodeposition for nonenzymatic oxidation and determination of glucose from aqueous solution. Copper-decorated multiwall carbon nanotubes composite electrode (Cu/CNT-epoxy) exhibited the highest sensitivity to glucose determination.
